Reasonable Punishments
Punishment at Washington University is very reasonable. From the first week at school, freshmen are told to be responsible if drinking and given a set of rules. The school knows that underage drinking will occur and the RAs are very tolerant. The drinking rules are very lax; no open bottles on campus, no red cups or alcohol visible from the outside of the dorms or in the hallways. While freshman parties are actually not allowed, there were many on my floor. The only rules are to not be too loud and not have too many people in your room or from other dorms. A lot of RAs are extremely lenient and will only shut down your party if they have to ask you to be quiet more than once or twice. Drugs are not tolerated; the campus police will be called on you most likely if any drug use is suspected.
